Every day, I'm learning a tremendous amount-- things that I simply couldn't learn only from reading blogs or listening to podcasts.

Congrats Scott, having that real estate license and access to an MLS has tremendous value.

They offer a tremendous value for the dollar, in which households can live in nice areas for a fraction of the cost of stick-built homes.

MHPs don't have the CapX that multi family will which is really tremendous from an investment perspective i feel.

While you can market off the MLS, you'll be reducing your buyer pool by a tremendous amount (my guess is that you'd lose about 90% of serious buyers).Consider the 3% you pay to the buyer's agent to be the cost of acquiring a customer...for many industries, 3% cost of customer acquisition really isn't too bad...

Bottom line being that I bought them with a negative cash flow and with a tremendous amount of equity, but I had a very precise exit strategy in cashing out my equity before the negative cash flow ate my lunch.

I rent a home I own to a very beloved family member who has helped me out tremendously in life but currently could not afford to pay the total amount each month that would make it cash flow positive for me.
